Appletree blossoms are undeniably beautiful - as all blossoms are. They are the latest to arrive in the year when cherries and magnolias and all other are gone.
To photograph them the best is to look for special lighting, when the sun is not quite on the blossom but is coming from the side or from behind. Then you can notice how transparent these blossoms are and how magical. I cannot stop looking for these scenarios...

An unknown Beauty....
Can anyone help here please? I have researched the Internet but haven't found it. I have no idea what this delicate beauty is. It looked awesome, backlit by the sun, so incredibly graceful. But I have never seen a plant like this one...

Lilac Blossoms in all Shades...
This was quite an unusual lilac bush - the blossoms appeared in all kinds of violet hues - simply wonderful. This would make a marvellous model for painting and learning how to mix colours...

A very special Composition...
Have you ever seen magnolia and pink cherry trees blooming side by side? Here in Munich it was an unusual view this year. Normally these trees don't bloom at the same time. So this sight was truly devine. And as usual it was gone much too quickly. But at least I have the images for you to enjoy...

Peony - the Queen of all Blooms...
Aren't these blooms to die for? It is not easy to catch them at the right moment - I mean sometimes you have other things to do and you cannot go on tour each day to check whether there is anything for the lens. Sometimes the weather is just too ugly at the time when these blooms should appear in their full magnificence and heavy rain means definitely their death sentence. But sometimes you are lucky and you are there at the right place at the right moment...

More Peony Dreams in Pink and White...
I just could not hold back some more images of these beautiful blooms. The time for their glory is just too short so it is invaluable that we have the techniques to keep their beauty forever - thanks to photography....

Peony Dreams....
Peonies belong to my absolutely favourite blooms. Not only the forms and colours of their blooms are so beautifully romantic but their perfume is pure heaven. I could stand there for hours and bury my nose in their petals forever...
